It took me years to find the strength to leave—and when I finally did, I had no idea how much harder things would get. The abuse didn’t end with the relationship; in fact, it escalated. The post-separation abuse was worse than anything I endured during the marriage. And now my children became a weapon being used to hurt
and control me.
Like so many mothers, my only goal was to protect my children.
I believed that the family court system would see the truth and step in. I was wrong. I spent eight years and over six figures trying to shield my children from their father’s abuse, only to learn firsthand how unprepared the system is to recognize and respond to coercive control, emotional abuse, and the realities of high-conflict dynamics.
Throughout it all, I had friends and family who loved me—but no one truly understood. I felt isolated, confused, and often gaslit by the very systems that were supposed to help.
Now that I’m on the other side of it, I’ve made it my mission to be the support I so desperately needed during those years.
As your coach, I see you. I hear you. I believe you. And I’m here to walk with you through the chaos, the confusion, and the fear—toward clarity, safety, and healing.
